Sagittarius heard the horn. He shot up and looked around, desperately attempting to locate where it came from. The battle. It was starting. He had to figure out where it was coming from. Based on the volume and the general sound he determined it was coming from the north.
He was unsure of what to do. He had to figure out what the metal door was and what it meant. He had to solve this new mystery. But he also had to help save his friends... his friends may be in danger. Sagittarius looked around to find landmarks to lead him back here.
On the ground there was a rock in the shape of a heart, there was an apple tree, and an abandoned pixie village. Sagittarius took careful time remembering, mumbling the evidence over and over again. He was so afraid that his brain would be the thing that would fail him, but he had no idea of those who had failed him and his people long ago.
He galloped off, still mumbling the evidence over and over again.
———————Scorpio immediately heard the call. She glanced around, grabbing the nearest knife she could feel. Her sight proved to be an issue in regard to the fact that she wouldn't be able to see Cancer coming, but she had always been a fierce warrior despite it.
The waterfront was not united, as much she would like it. But the sirens and the mermaids couldn't effectively communicate with each other. It would be difficult to fight together if Cancer came towards them.
However, they had access to Cancer's castle due to the stream Sirens that were close enough to spy, and were all above the age of 18.
"Pisces, the battle has begun! Prepare your troops!" Scorpio shouted over the siren's chaos.
She couldn't see it, but Pisces nodded.
He glanced at Aries. Poor Aries, who was their newest mermaid there. Still struggling with sign language and being forced into a war.
"Are you sure you're ready for this?" Pisces asked.
"Are we gonna die here?" Aries asked.
And Aries had the terrible feeling they would. And she knew what she would do. She would do exactly what she did last time. She would do exactly what put her in this situation. She would sacrifice herself for anyone else. That's what she would always do.
"We're not going to die," Pisces signed. "But please don't do that damn martyr thing you do. You already died once."
"Very funny, Pi," Aries replied, rolling her eyes. "As long are you promise the same."
The waterfront was prepared for the war, but perhaps not the causalities.

All of the land creatures marched on the castle. The centaurs stayed at the rear, allowing the Fae and Fairies to lead. In the dead center of the battle was Libra, with a deadly look in her eye. Capricorn, Virgo, and Angel all stood right behind her. This was the beginning of the war.
Cancer came out with Taurus on her shoulder. She surveyed the scene and let out a laugh.
"Is this seriously an attack? Oh my God," Cancer shouted. She wore a deep purple crop top with high waisted black leggings.
All of the land creatures glanced at each other. Why was she laughing? Why did she sound so surprised? What was happening?
"What do you want with Taurus?" Virgo screamed back at her.
"Nothing, I'm letting him go," Cancer said with a shrug.
"GIVE HIM BACK— wait what?" Virgo stopped herself before cussing her out even more.
